[An] unclassifiable mood piece that starts off as a narrative-free ode to country life with ominous shots of a bulldozer raising the English earth into a chaotic heap. … It’s an amazing film to watch if you’re willing to go along with its idiosyncratic rhythms, and there’s certainly nothing else like it out there. Though not strictly horror, it certainly has an otherwordly atmosphere to it potent enough to merit its inclusion in the essential folk horror documentary, Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched (2021).
